Anti-Defamation chairman condemns ‘chilling’ anti-Semitic graffiti on Melbourne Jewish school

A Jewish community leader has condemned the disturbing rise of antisemitism in Australia after one of Melbourne’s largest Jewish day schools was the target of shocking anti-Semitic graffiti.

“This is hatred, pure and simple, and as a former student of Mount Scopus College, I am shattered and sickened by this open call to murder Jews that would make the barbaric terrorists of Hamas very proud,” he told SkyNews.com.au in a statement. “Such despicable words of hate and violence, aimed directly at children, are dangerous, especially during this atmosphere in which antisemitism is at an all-time high is a terrifying reality that has creeped into our daily lives,” he said.

“The Jewish community is being confronted with a whirlwind of escalating levels of vicious harassment and abuse, enduring a torrent of racist abuse and violence that is frightening in its intensity.”
